About this map

Princeton and its surrounding communities are anchored by long-standing academic institutions and a complex network of waterways and transit corridors. The central campus of Princeton University and the Princeton Theological Seminary sit amidst historical landmarks like the Princeton Cem and the Mother Sundial. To the south and east, the landscape transitions from the dense residential grids of North Princeton and Penns Neck into the open marshes of Upper Bear Swamp and the Great Bear Swamp.

Transportation remains a defining feature of the region, from the historic Delaware and Raritan Canal to the modern Amtrak line passing through Princeton Junction. The map details the suburban growth of townships such as Lawrenceville and Hamilton Square, while preserving the names of smaller, historically distinct areas like Bakersville, Princessville, and Sturwood Hamlet. Several cemeteries, including Saint Pauls Cem and Morris Hall Cem, provide points of interest for genealogical research in this long-settled part of Mercer County.
